All Rest In God

Authored by

THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM

mayā tatam idaṁ sarvam jagadavyakta mūrtinā matsthāni sarvabhūtāni na cahaṁ teṣv-avasthitaḥ

By Me, the entire Universe is pervaded in My formless form. All beings are based in Me, but I am not in them.

Powerful Cognition

The whole universe is pure intelligence, not dead matter. It is not an accident

na ca matsthāni bhūtāni paśya me yogam aiśvaram bhūtabhṛnna ca bhūtastho mamātmā bhūtabhāvanaḥ

And yet everything that is created does not rest in Me. Look at My mystic powers! Although, I am the Creator and Sustainer of all living entities, I do not depend the Cosmic manifestation; for My Self is the very source of all creation.

Powerful Cognition

We need to understand that the whole universe is intelligence. This intelligence responds to our thoughts

yathākāśasthito nityaṁ vāyuḥ sarvatrago mahān tathā sarvāṇi bhūtāni matsthānīty upadhāraya

As the mighty wind, blowing everywhere, always rests in eternal space, all beings rest in Me.

Powerful Cognition

Just as the air rests in the space, our being, the whole universe including our being, we all rest in the Divine. Krsna says, 'All beings rest in Me.'

sarvabhūtāni kaunteya prakṛtiṁ yānti māmikām kalpakṣaye punas tāni kalpādau visṛjāmyaham

O Kaunteya (son of Kuntī), at the end of every age all beings merge into Me, at the beginning of every new age I create them again.

Powerful Cognition

When Krsna says, 'All material manifestation enters Me, ' He means, it enters the universal consciousness. Everything we see and feel using our senses is part of the universal consciousness.

prakṛtiṁ svāmavaṣṭabhya visṛjāmi punaḥ punaḥ bhūtagrāmam imaṁ kṛtsnam avaśaṁ prakṛtervaśāt

The whole Cosmic order is under Me and My material nature creates the beings again and again, and it is controlled by My material nature.

Powerful Cognition

Once we understand everything is a mirror image of our own self, we become enlightened
